FRANKFURT, Germany–(BUSINESS WIRE)– DE-CIX today launches its new Internet exchange in Istanbul, Turkey. DE-CIX Istanbul will be operated by DE-CIX Istanbul Network Connections LLC, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of DE-CIX International AG. The new Istanbul exchange will deliver carrier and data center-neutral Internet exchange services in Turkey, the Caucasus region, Persia and the Middle East.

The building houses colocation operators across several floors, including MedNautilus (part of the Telecom Italia Sparkle group), Turkcell/Superonline and Verizon. All of the other data center floors will be DE-CIX-enabled.
The building is also served with capacity from all of the major national Turkish and a large number of international carriers. This includes being a landing station for the MedNautilus subsea cable backbone, which serves the Mediterranean basin. Because of this strong connectivity into the MedNautilus facility, customers will have an abundant and diverse community of carriers to choose from starting Day One of operations.
Furthermore, the DE-CIX service will be available in more than fifteen additional facilities across the city of Istanbul. Network operators can also take advantage of the DE-CIX Istanbul service in three other cities across Turkey, including Ankara, Bursa and Izmir.
